My Perfect Bride- Editing Begins

Chapter 14: Saviour

Emerald Wright

I kept my hands on my cheek, where he kissed me and I blushed . My eyes followed the trail of his body going out. Grinning like a teenager I headed towards the lift. On my way from my lift to my apartment, I remembered the kiss. When Austin kissed me, it initially felt like he was punishing me, but it changed quickly and I felt overwhelmed with emotions. I didn't realise when I kissed him back, the first kiss, I ever had was in my sophomore year, and it was just because my teacher made me play Juliet , in the play . I was the only one who remembered the dialogue. It was one of those events, I won't ever forget. The girls who are jealous that I kissed the most handsome boy of our school , they called me names and started gossiping about me. I absolutely hate gossips.

As I reached my apartment, I decided to use the key to unlock the door, hopefully Becky would be asleep . I didn't know what to tell her . Luckily for me, Becky wasn't in the balcony or the hall, so I decided to go to my room.

When I finally changed into my comfortable tank top and shorts, removed my makeup and saw my reflection, I was beaming in happiness. I could play the moment when I kissed Austin and the moment he confessed he liked me too. I don't know what happened, but when I told him I liked him it was on instinct. He didn't say anything, that time but he kissed me and made me feel things , I have never ever felt before in life. With his thoughts on my mind, and a smiling like a thirteen year old I drifted to sleep.

Next Morning, I was in a happier mood. Suprisingly Becky was not there, and there was no message she left for me about going out. How unfair! I checked my phone and realised Austin didn't message me as well. I thought how are we going to talk each other , we like each other , but what next, I am still entitled to find him a bride. I felt confused, I needed to clarify this with him. Most of my day went in day dreaming.

I had to tell her about Austin, I had promised her I knocked her door and she came out, she avoided eye contact with me and I was worried about my best friend. I did what I thought was the best I just hugged her "It will be okay" I said softly.

Becky relaxed and let her go, I turned and was about to leave to my room when her words made me stop in the tracks

"IsleptwithTyler" It took me a while to process it wait

I

Slept

With

Tyler

WHAT... My mind screamed, I looked at her bewildered. She looked down and I wanted to tell her about Austin, but I realized , maybe this is not the correct time .

"Don't ask me anything, my mind isn't sane, I slept with the most shallow dumbass " she said . I nodded at her and she left to her room . I decided I won't be disturbing her and give her time . In any relationship giving time and patience is important , that's what I have always believed in.

Monday arrived and for once I was excited to go to work, this was the first time I was going to see Austin after the kiss and it made me feel butterflies in my stomach.

I took extra efforts to get ready and tried to look pretty. I never knew which was Austin's favorite color but I need to know . Applying red lipstick I checked myself in the mirror, I did look good. I saw Austin's illusion in the mirror and giving me a thumbs up for the look, I blushed even more. Taking a deep breath, I reached the work place.

Austin didn't come in the morning,he didn't message me or emailed me about the same. Everyone was asked to do the work, my heart sank and I decided to do the pending work.

"Hello gorgeous"

I looked up to the voice, Joe Jones, was leaning on my desk, wearing a charming smile, which I found creepy. Call it intution?
